"This car is probably one of the best car's that I have owned. It is a super reliable and tough built car. Mine is a 1993 and has about 92,000 original miles. I do not EVER second guess this cars abilities. It's very light. Meaning it can maneuver nicely and soar through traffic. It is good on gas, which means you don't have to worry about those $4 gas prices. The tranny is built ford tough, the engine is built ford tough. However, the interior is badly designed. It doesn't give me the storage capabilities of some vehicles. And the automatic seatbelts are not that cool either. Overall, this car is amazing. It's a cheap, fun, and most importantly, hugely reliable vehicle. Plus, this car blends into crowds, away from police looking to hand out BS tickets!"

"Bought this car for $100 after sitting 14 years. Put a battery in and started right up, sounded amazing. Have only had to replace a few parts in the two years I've had it. Replacement engine and transmission a really great price, should the need ever arise. Had a lot of cosmetic issues, but no rust. The car design is ugly to me, but it runs well and is very reliable, unlike my previous experience with fords.
I love that it has windows that go up when the car is shut off (non-powered windows FTW! )
Great car, definitely recommended for beginners."

"I had this car from 2003 and it served me well. A few problems here and there, and a little cosmetic damage makes me a little embarrassed to drive it. Still I loved how well it handled in the corners driving through the mountains, and how comfortable it was to ride in. I only had a few problems with it, which was probably due to my lack of knowledge of car care. So even though its ugly I love this car."
